Verizon Wireless re-announces Visual Voice Mail, not free anymore

I suppose you could go sell for a lesser company like at&t who ranks lower in customer loyalty and satisfaction. VZW is a company that is here to make money not give features for free. I hate to break the news to you all but you are in the wrong profession if you believe capitalism is wrong!

There are only 2 phones on the market that even DO this, how can you say everyone else lets you do it for free?

Who gives a crap about Visual Voice mail??? It's all hype it's basically useless. Youmail is so much better than any kind of visual voice mail. Before you guys start whining do some research. I am careless about that. I like Verizon but I still believe they are a little on the greedy side. Cell phone service should not cost this much in the new millennium. Go to Europe and you will see what I am talking about. And before you start accusing me as some far left liberal democrat I am actually very conservative republican who is open minded and not driven by any brainwashing.

IT'S NOT FREE WITH AT&T OR SPRINT EITHER! Free with mandatory $30/month data package is NOT FREE. VZW is making this an option on an already competitive network pricing. If you don't want it, don't buy it! When you can take the $30 data pack off your iPhone and still use the visual voicemail, then you can tell me it's FREE.

OK, so if you subscribe to a premium data pack with Verizon, shouldn't this be included?

A lesser company like AT&T. How can a company with more customers than Verizon be of lesser value?

Your so very right! I find it very funny that people just go with what's cheap or easy! Verizon has never said its the cheapest carrier,but only the best! I'm a person of facts and I read. If more people would just read about a company an what it has to offer them Capitalism wouldn't be a issue. The other companies would just go out of businness. And just one last thing...Nothing in this life is free! I could make a very long list but i'd rather pay and know it works the get over charged told i'm getting a service free just to have it suck! You say you work for a Premium VzW retailer then your trainning must have sucked or you would know this!

As of right now it's a new service! So no it wont be, but I would think as history shows with VZW if its something our customer wants then they may bundle it in down the road.

"If you don't want it don't buy it" - it sucks that something so obvious is not a standard feature with cell phone service in this day and age. Who isn't tired of greedy companies trying to squeeze every last nickel and dime out of us with fees, charges, etc. For instance, some phone companies charge a fee for touch tone dialing? Who the #@$^ has a pulse dial phone these days? Tone is just the basic standard. Who are these people that come out and say "if you don't like capitolism then move out of the country" in response to people who just want companies to earn their business by offering them more for less, rather than being presented with fewer choices and being charged more as the big guys put the small guys out of business???

if you think that then you must be the worst salesperson around, if you don't believe in what you sell, why the hell are you selling it? truck driver school too expensive????

Of all the carriers I've been with, VZW has been the most reliable for me. I've hardly had any issues with coverage, connection speed, and overall quality of the service (and customer service for VZW is stellar compared to the others I've dealt with!). Albeit the phone selection might not please everyone in the market, they do have some solid devices. I'd rather pay slightly more for a service that works great for me than pay less for something that doesn't. You don't pay the price of a Mercedes-Benz to get the quality of a Kia.

preach on #11!!!

Number 29- #11's response seemed logical and did not sound like a preach, more like a statement of preference. Number 2- You must think everyone is stupid. You just complain because you don't get paid verizon wireless corporate rates. I too was a manager for Celcom, an indirect agent who sold all the carriers at the time. The two most sold companies were verizon and att. And though vzw can be more expensive in phones, our monthly service in terms of minutes to price paid is identical, and our per mb data usage charges are about half of what att charges. We were rated number one in reception by JD powers and consumer reports, not to mention got number one spot in customer care several times (usually tmobile gets it).

Actually, that makes him a good salesman. You should find a new profession if you can only sell products that you personally believe in.

What's wrong with Kia ? It will take you any place a Mercedes will.
